2003 Jeep Liberty wheels complaints

Filed Mar 23, 2012 · Wheels · 89,000 miles · CT

I was heading to friend's place and had just gotten off the highway when I pulled into her street. I went up a slightly raised driveway in order to turn the car around when I heard a loud, grinding sound. I thought that maybe something had gotten stuck under the car, so I got out to check but saw nothing. I got back in the car and continued to reverse it in order to park, but the noise started right back up again and steering had now become extremely difficult. I eventually parked the car, got out and noticed that the front passenger wheel was bent in because the ball joint had come out. I know that there were recalls regarding this in 2003, 2006 and 2009. I am planning to call the dealership tomorrow to alert them of the situation. However, any help that you can help me would be great! Thank you!

My daughter had been driving on the upper level (h.o.v lane) of the 59th st. Bridge in queens ny and lost control of the vehicle as she was turning upward on a very sharp turn, which then LED to her colliding head first with the sidewalls.

Steel wheels on my jeep liberty have a lipid grove that fills with ice,snow,mud and sand. This is especially bad with off road use. This causes the front wheel balance to go out and causes the vehicle to steer and handle very erractically. It may take several tries with a power hose to clear the wheels. You cannot see behind the spokes to see if all is clear.
